#17: Tara Coyote - There's A Gift Here

Episode SummaryListen in as Jef Szi welcomes the generous and joyful Tara Coyote to the show. In this remarkable episode Tara recounts the many trials and blessings that have been her companions over the last several years. From her picture perfect marriage and career that fell apart to the death of her best friend from leukemia, and onto her own Stage III breast cancer diagnosis in 2016 and all that followed, Tara’s recent passage has been intense and profound passage in equal measure. Along the way we find a moving portrait (fully documented in her recent memoir Grace, Grit and Gratitude) of what it means to have a life-threatening health crisis and the grit it takes to find ways to survive and thrive. We hear from Tara just how deep into the bosom of pain she had to dive, but as importantly how the power of the mind, valuing one’s self and finding the courage to swim in the face of the most difficult odds can bring one back to the surface of the precious gift of living. This show is not to be missed, because through Tara’s story we can all become a little braver, a little more grateful, and a lot more inspired in her willingness to seek the gift in adversity.
